SEEDLINGS AND SPROUTS IN THE REGENERATION OF OAKS IN THE SIERRA DE PACHUCA, HIDALGO
The purpose of this work was to determine and compare the origin of young plants of the main oak (Quercus spp.) and non-oak woody species (Abies, Arbutus, Garrya, Juniperus, Pinus, Prunus) in the Sierra de Pachuca, Hgo., to contribute to the knowledge of oaks regeneration in the area. The number and origin of young plants were recorded on three-4 m2 permanent subplots on a 250 m2 plot in four different plant communities. Five of 13 species recorded showed both seedlings and sproutings, but they appear to depend primarily on one of these for regeneration. Prunus serotina sp. capuli was the non-oak species best represented in sites sampled and appears to depend on seed production (or seedlings) for regeneration. Q. laurina, Q. mexicana, Q. repanda, and Q. rugosa were the oak species best represented; they appeared to show different dependence on seedlings or sprouts; this suggests differences in the regeneration mechanisms.

| Summary: | The purpose of this work was to determine and compare the origin of young plants of the main oak (Quercus spp.) and non-oak woody species (Abies, Arbutus, Garrya,
Juniperus, Pinus, Prunus) in the Sierra de Pachuca, Hgo., to contribute to the knowledge of oaks regeneration in the area. The number and origin of young plants were recorded on three-4 m2
permanent subplots on a 250 m2 plot in four different plant communities. Five of 13 species recorded showed both seedlings and sproutings, but they appear to depend primarily on one of these
for regeneration. Prunus serotina sp. capuli was the non-oak species best represented in sites sampled and appears to depend on seed production (or seedlings) for regeneration. Q. laurina, Q.
mexicana, Q. repanda, and Q. rugosa were the oak species best represented; they appeared to show different dependence on seedlings or sprouts; this suggests differences in the regeneration
mechanisms. |
